A-M 1/48 SBD-4 Dauntless

by Tom Cleaver on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

One of the last releases by "real" Accurate Miniatures was the SBD-4, which differs from the SBD-3 primarily by having the same prop as the SBD-5, and was also provided with these decals to do a VS-41 Dauntless from the Ranger [...]

1/48 Battle of France Spitfire I

by John Healy on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is an almost self-building Tamiya kit. Painted and finished with Humbrol enamels and Superscale decals. The only thing I really added to this one was a set of Eduard belts.

AZ 1/48 Ki-48I “Lily”

by Bryan W. Bernart on January 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Oddly misshapen and a labor to build. One of two kit options,this example fought in the CBI theater, based somewhere in Thailand, 1943. The other kit option, another Thailand based Ki-48 , was evidently shot down over Rangoon by the AVG. [...]

by Tom Cleaver on December 31, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This and the SB2U-3 are the last ones for 2012. Done back in 2005, using the Yellow Wings Decals "Dive Bomber" set to do the airplane from VB-3 that was used when LCDR Joe Blake (Fred MacMurray) took LT Doug Lee (Erroll Flynn) [...]

Roden 1/48th Gladiator Mk.II in Finnish Service

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 31, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

The Roden Gladiator is one of their better 1/48th biplane kits, owing mainly to the parts being a bit more robust than most of their WW1 kits. This model represents GL-255, a machine belonging to LeLv 26 flown by 44-victory Ace Sgt. Oiva [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Ki-45

by Seth Marshall on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This was finished earlier this year. It is essentially OOB with the exception of the seat belts, which I made myself. The markings on the aircraft belong to the 53rd Sentai, a unit assigned to defending Japan from attacking B-29s in 1945. [...]

1/48 SPAD XIII

by John Healy on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is a DML kit modified to the early rounded wingtip configuration. I built this one last year, finishing it with Humbrol enamels and an ancient MSAP decal sheet that performed as if it were brand new. This was the last old DML WW1 [...]

1/48 F-4J

by John Healy on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is an Esci kit that I mproved with some parts from the spares box and scratchbuilt. These old Esci Phantoms build well, have recessed panel lines, and are pretty accurate in shape. They lack details in the cockpit and afterburner [...]

Eduard 1/48th Nieuport 17 in RFC Service

by Erik Wade Whipple on December 30, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is Eduard's crisp little Nieuport 17 with a some extra detailing. The kit cockpit is fairly simple, with a flat floor with a step for the seat and molded in heel boards. It looks fine once it's all closed up. However, in an attempt [...]
